Unable to connect to MongoDB

Question

I\'ve just installed MongoDB (standard Ubuntu build, not the latest stable) and for some reason I can\'t connect:

Mon Feb  6 03:11:22 Error: couldn\'t connect to         


        

Answer 1

in /etc/mongod.conf

I changed,

bindIp: 127.0.0.1

to

bindIp: 0.0.0.0

which is all ports. Yeah, I know it's risky, but I am running on an internal network.

BTW commenting out #bindIp: 127.0.0.1 did NOT work for me, running under Ubuntu 18.
